According to the company’s financials, the revenue dropped 17.9% YoY to Rs530.12m in Q1 2025, down from Rs645.73m in SPLY.

Despite the decline in top-line performance, the company managed to soften the blow through a steeper 22.85% YoY reduction in cost of services, which fell from Rs347.48m to Rs268.07m.

As a result, gross profit declined 12.14% YoY to Rs262.05m from Rs298.25m in SPLY.

Administrative expenses were trimmed by 3.43% YoY, falling to Rs66.05m from Rs68.40m last year.

Meanwhile, finance costs saw a significant reduction of 64.54% YoY, dropping to Rs16.84m from Rs47.5m, reflecting lower borrowing costs or improved debt management.

However, the company reported no other income this quarter, compared to Rs2.15m in the same quarter of the previous year.

On the tax front, the company’s tax expense declined 26.70% YoY to Rs18.93m from Rs25.83m in SPLY.
